Man United have Sealed £58.4m Signing – Better Than Mata?

Juan Mata Man UnitedAfter letting go three strikers this summer, Manchester United have opted to splash the cash and sign a young French forward for a huge fee.
Previously, it was reported that the Red Devils have agreed a 36 millions pound deal to sign Anthony Martial from Monaco. The mentioned price tag is extremely high for someone who only netted 12 goals in 48 games for the Ligue 1 side last season.
Other French strikers like Giroud, Benzema and Lacazette were way better than Martial and scored more goals in English, Spanish and French league respectively.
If the £36m fee seems baffling, now reports suggest that United have actually sealed a £58.4m deal to sign Martial.
This means that the 19-year-old star will be the most expensive teenage signing ever. Moreover, he will over take Juan Mata to become Man United’s second most expensive buy after Di Maria.
The Red Devils signed the former Chelsea star for 37.1 million pounds under the management of Moyes. Mata is a proven quality PL player and it will be a crime to say that Martial is better than him.
Anthony may have the potential to become world class but spending £58.4 million only makes sense for a proven superstar.
Can anyone really explain why Man United have sealed that crazy a deal to sign someone who is not world class by any means?

    First of all LVG spent all that money to buy Martial because Monaco wasn’t willing to sell him and yet that is a suprise striker LVG was talking about; Secondly LVG realised that he needed a striker after being beaten by Swansea City meaning he had a weak bergaining power since the transfer deadline was near; Third LVG doesn’t have people who can advise him that is why he signed Martial expensively( he is a dictator); Lastly LVG was convinced by the president of Monaco that Anthony Martial has all the elements and qualities of Henry Thierry.
